Suzuki vs Kenworth

4 pages in to an accident thread, and no Katman dribbling on about awareness, and chanelling the correct gods to enable you to leap tall Kenworths.
Youv'e silenced the cat Brett.
Respect.

Oh, happy you, and yours is non splattered.

I'm glad you both came through it so well. Think I would be a gibbering wreck watching something I'd been sitting on milliseconds earlier getting run down by a Kenworth... are you on drugs?

That'd mean he'd have to deal with Triumph NZ. Not sure that's gonna happen anytime soon.

Besides, anything other than another TNAB after such a short tenure is tantamount to admitting it's not the best choice.

Just a thought, etc.

Perhaps more attention was required on the Kenworth rather than the feijoa smoothy.

You failed to see/ respond to a kenworth being gunned out of an intersection and hit it midship so to speak. Wow it must of been faster than a speeding bullet.

That smoothy awaiting in Palmerston North may well of been your downfall EH !

Indeed. I couldn't believe what I was seeing coming across the road. Still, I would have preferred to have downed a Cuba Cafe feijoa smoothy rather than a GSX1250FA.

That's what happens when you let things take you by surprise.

I'd hazard a guess that if you'd actually considered the possibility of the truck pulling out on you the outcome could have been considerably different.

Said Kenworth was rolling -- it hadn't stopped at the intersection and waited for traffic to clear. The driver presumably thought the road was clear and was off and away. The point of impact was a box in front of the truck's drive wheels. On the vehicle in question that was hardly "midships".

And that didn't set off alarm bells?

Absolutely. No argument from me about that. I thought he'd stop. He didn't. I'm generally cautious about traffic coming off side roads anyway and probably more so when I've got a pillion aboard.
